I've been doing software development for 20 years. I have always wanted to create an API-based product. 2 years ago, I learned about micro-saas and no-code/low-code platforms, and I thought it would be great to create something simple for developers to generate content.
Through market research, I felt there was a demand for PDF and image generation. In addition, I have to use these for some of my clients as well.
We spent two months building an MVP, and the first version only supported PDF generation. A few weeks later, we added image generation and some other features(Mostly requested by the users).

How did you find your first customers?

We started SEO fairly early, and our first customer found us on Google even before we officially launch the product.
When we decided to build the product, we created a few SEO-optimized pages while building the product. Google indexed us when we launched the product(3 months later) and we ranked on the first page for a few keywords, which brought us good traffic.
